Question 5






I attracted my audience in a number of ways. First I decided to use a model which is black and young; straightaway this will appeal to my black audience. Both genders because he is attractive and girls will want to look at this, because he looks ‘cool’ boys will think, I want to be like him. The font I used on my front cover is graffiti style and appeals a lot to my demographic group.
I also put a name ‘Chris Brown’ which will attract the opposite sex, because a lot of people know Chris Brown and he famously known and adored among the opposite sex, because he is so attractive. But for the other names on there, I made them up. In addition I used some slang words ‘woss gwarnin’ which is a typical
This will again attract people who use this language, also the way I have made these two words stand out so that it can catch people’s attention. As well as it is talking people’s language it’s on their level, because if it was talking very formal, like the style of language in a broadsheet newspaper, it won’t attract the people I want to attract. I put the ‘Win tickets’ in bold and a bright colour to make it really stand out because a lot of people will be prepared to buy a magazine if there is something worth winning in the magazine. And wining tickets is a ‘big thing’ for people who are big fans of music artists. Also like I pointed out before saying ‘ free posters inside’ is another attraction because people want to get as much as they can for as little price possible. Also put ‘A natural’ in big because people want to be looked on as someone great so they want to look on those who has done well and copy them.
I decided to dress my model in clothes that are recognised and popular brands for example the big Nike jumper the model is wearing is a very popular brand in the UK. Another popular brand name is Adidas. You can also see that he has earphones these connote music so straightaway there is a link to music, the reason I wanted these there is because this is a music magazine so I wanted to relate to music, especially because nearly everyone goes around with headphones in, it is considered the norm, but the majority are teenagers.



The model is wearing a hat with the Adidas logo on it.
The model on the front cover is also 18 years old and this is the some of the age-group I want to catch the attention of, to buy my magazine, if I had an older model it will less likely be attracted by the people that I want to buy the magazine. Unless it was a famous rapper, singer or celebrity that my demographic group knew for example: Beyoncé, Chipmunk and Giggs. Like this magazine they have used a well known music artist.
